The rules are simple:

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Coffee is a matter of taste. So no one should tell you that you're doing it wrong. Maybe it's just a preference.
But "immediatly" is… pretty fast. I wonder if your grind is very fine or if you have very dark beans. I don't like coffee, so I brew mine pretty cool and for 2 minutes max so I get a very cocoy drink.
If you feel like it, you may want to try different grinds and recipes. Personally I feel like it's worth it.
Coffee is highly personal, I agree. The comment above reminded me of a friend though, a very woke social worker, highly anti exploitation and pro environment. You get the point. She did hand filter, but like... Putting 5 spoons in and then just splashing boiling water over it so that the water hardly even touched the coffee because it just whooshed to the sides. Her coffee was... Brownish water. It was so light, if it were driving in the US, it wouldn't have been racially profiled. She liked it that way and while it was not drinkable for me, it's fine, she likes it, but it was just such a waste. It took a lot of careful phrasing to point it out to her that, you do you, but you are wasting coffee (which is, after all, ethically, socially and environmentally quite complicated to say the least) and you could get the same strength/result with like 1/5th of the coffee you use. She is still rather grateful for your coffee needs... more love and has now diverted to more conscious coffee making.
Sounds like you are skipping the "cast judgement" step
I won't go into details, but let's put it this way: I think what I'm doing will offend french press owners more than a paper filter.
